After European Commission Report Vucic Reaffirmed EU as Serbia’s Strategic Goal; Von Beckerath Warned Slowing of Reforms

At a press conference following their meeting, the head of the EU Delegation emphasized that the pace of reforms in Serbia has slowed, though progress is visible in the economy and in the harmonization of policies with the EU.

Von Beckerath particularly commended the progress made in appointing members of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM) and in drafting the law on the unified electoral roll, urging that these processes be carried out transparently and inclusively.

At the same time, he stressed that Serbia must accelerate reforms in the areas of the judiciary, rule of law, human rights, freedom of expression, and academic freedom. He specifically pointed to the need to reform the electoral framework and to reduce divisive rhetoric that undermines trust in institutions.

Von Beckerath reminded that progress in normalizing relations with Kosovo continues to determine the pace of EU accession.
